People talking about what the Wii U "needs"... it hasn't been out for 2 months. It's pretty early to be calling for a huge price cut. It's not selling as badly as the Vita was (or is), and that still hasn't gotten any kind of price cut. Let's see how the Wii U is selling after it has some actual game releases outside of its launch line-up. We don't even know anything about its Holiday 2013 line-up.
Japanese sales are particularly irrelevant for Wii U. This past home console generation, Japan was a smaller market than the "rest of the world" according to VGChartz. Even for the Wii, Japan represented less than 10% of hardware sales. America and Europe are MUCH more important for home consoles, so that's where the Wii U has to sell well. It's gotta get its act together in Europe, but again, that might just be a matter of a few big releases like LEGO City and Wii Fit U.

Now that we're out of the holiday season it is actually selling worse than the vita.
Vita
US Week 8: 16,969
EU Week 7: 23,664
JP Week 6: 14,068
Wii U
US Week 8: 15,459
EU Week 7: 11,256
JP Week 6: 26,772
Vita is only ahead by 1214 units, but it is ahead. Granted, that is assuming this weeks numbers end up being final. Of course the Wii U LTD is higher, but it did launch in the holiday season.

Damn and that's with mario, blops 2 and AC3, the only game that could save nintendo is maybe wii sports 2, i give that 10% chance since i really don't think anybody cares anymore about motion tech games anymore, sony has it now and its not really doing anything for them, kinect is a simialer concept but i also feel that had it time and over with.
